ya, most engines do have a lot of potential, i don't understand why some manufactures restrice their engines so much, i know they have to watch out for emissions, drivability, smoothness, etc.

but come on, they advertise that hemi like it's the shit, it is shit until you mod it, i'm sure, but someone buying a hemi truck wouldn't mind a slight rougher idle for the performance gains.

just like gm, they come out with an engine, then the following year it has 10more hp, then finally bt time it's at end of life, it has sometimes 15-20hp more, like they couldn't make that happen the first year. Hell, if they would just offer a better tune for those who know they have the right gas, there'd be a lot more hp available.
